Iran Says It Has Evidence CIA Was Behind Assassination Of Scientist

2012-01-15

Iran's state television has reported that Tehran has evidence that the United States was behind the latest assassination of one of its nuclear scientists.

Earlier this week, an Iranian nuclear scientist was killed in a bomb blast in Tehran. It was the fifth attack of its kind in two years.

But not the last...

Iranian state-run television reported that the Iranian Foreign Ministry gave a letter to the Swiss ambassador in Tehran which says: "We have reliable documents and evidence that this terrorist act was planned, guided, and supported by the CIA."

The Swiss Embassy represents U.S. interests in Iran.

The United States has denied involvement in the killing and condemned it.

Israeli President Shimon Peres has said Israel had no role in the attack, to the best of his knowledge.

Perhaps it was the Ruritanians...

#5 Various Perts + Bloggers argue that Iranians have had enough LEU for a NucBomb(s) since 2010 -the Maha-Rushie question of the day is whether Roshan + the others had major or significant roles in same, + again in future as per any improved = more potent Iran NucBombs.

IFF ROSHAN, etal? has only MINOR OR NO ROLE IN THE ABOVE, THEN IMO THERE WAS NO VALID REASON FOR MOSSAD, etal. TO WHACK HIM BECAUSE OF HIS LACK OF IMPORTANCE TO IRAN'S NUCPROG.

Roshan's seeming or apparent importance would be his teaching of nuclear science = advanced methods at University to the younger or new generation of [pro-Govt/Mullahs?]Iranian young adults, but to off him would be rather meaningless for the US-Allies considering how many Iranians + Muslim ME'sters are educated overseas in US + Western schools, e.g. science + engineering.

OTOH, SAVAK [+ by extens the Mullahs = Iran Govt] may had decided to off him to score Diplomatic, Media points agz the US-Israel WIDOUT ENDANGERING IRAN'S NUKE PROGESS - IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT ROSHAN'S MURDER WAS A COVER STORY FOR THE MURDER OF SOMEONE(S) ELSE, e.g. ANTI-GOVT. IRANIAN NUKE SCIENTIST(S)???

--------

* ION DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > IRAN'S BOMB + PAKISTAN.

ME > Pro-Tehran or not, Iran is surrounded by various Muslim Countries, including those whom are Islamist-troubled, bent on dev indigenous nuclear arsenals. Pragmatically, PAKISTAN + faraway NORTH KOREA NEED NO LONGER BE IRAN'S 'SOLE" SOURCES FOR NUCTECHS, BE IT FOR NUCWEAPONS ANDOR CIVILIAN ENERGY.

In any case, PERTS = Iran should have the Bomb 2012 NLT 2015, to include reliable LRBM delivery systems.

#3 Hillary strongly condemned the assassination which is a cuter way to point at the Mossad and say "it wasn't us".
For every threat of the Mullah's the Dem's respond with swome apology.
I now believe the US foreign policy is indeed based on empty words and delaying any serious response with the hope that the problem will somehow solve itself....
This is so embarassing to see a superpower grovelling at the feet of the Mullah's.

#1 It was probably the CIA business card left at the scene, which scrawled on the back, said, "We're coming for you, Mahmoud."
